Wow, even I'm a big fan of Maya and I know that Noriko is going to be very important to the story, why do you have this opinion about her???Noriko is one of my least favorite characters, having dealt with a crazy stalker before IRL. I wish she was an optional side character (or better yet was never made since this game already has way too many characters). Don't get why she's so popular here.
Probably for the reason given in their first sentence. Real life experience can colour ones opinions on certain content, scenarios and character traits.Wow, even I'm a big fan of Maya and I know that Noriko is going to be very important to the story, why do you have this opinion about her???
heh, hardthat was indeed a hard scene to watch.
Noriko's not actually a crazy stalker. You can't really stalk someone you can't find, and it's not like Sensei told her not to look for him. Think of her more as a little sister that lost her big brother one day and spent years trying to find him.

Considering pinks and blues are implied to be the colors of Spring:My god, Selebus. We got it already, the poor girl can't catch a fucking break.
Long road ahead = Noriko on the backburner for another 2 chapters
TSS PART 1 part fucking 1, my god, Ami talks about deserving to go to heaven, Noriko's already has enough points to be an angel

Noriko grew up with Sensei then was tutored by him for around 5 years (along with Maya), so she has around 11 years of history with Sensei. The rest of her life (around 4 to 5 years) was spent trying to find him after he disappeared. That's why she's so attached to him, since they are basically family and he probably taught her most of what she knows. (He likely indoctrinated her, tbh)I hope I can find something more interesting to latch onto with Noriko when I replay her stuff, but on my first playthrough I really wasn't a fan of her as a character. In a game full of well-written, multi-faceted characters, she comes across as one-dimensional in a way that gets awfully close to "porn logic".
Pretty much her entire identity seems to be defined around completely unconditional love for Sensei. Somehow this love grew despite not seeing him for years, and the last time she did know him she was still a preteen and he was probably emotionally closed off after the accident. It's also hard to understand how any good qualities she saw in him could outweigh the fact that she knew (or at least heavily suspected) that he groomed/molested wizard Maya.
She again gets confronted with what an awful person he is when Ami cucks her, but her only response is to get sad and avoid Sensei for a little while. After that it's right back to unconditional love and pretending nothing happened, with no indication that she's been changed by learning that Sensei has a sexual relationship with the niece/daughter that he's raised since she was a child. We know the relationship only started post-resets, but Noriko has every reason to assume that Sensei groomed/molested Ami as well. And while she does bring that up in the immediate aftermath, it seems like she's mostly only upset that there is one more girl that Sensei loves more than her.
I feel like Noriko needs to experience some sort of rude awakening if she's ever going to exhibit any character growth, but I have no idea what could get through to her when the shit she's already seen hasn't.
Are we actually sure that she couldn't find him?
Maybe I'm reading too much into something just meant as an easter egg, but it's awfully convenient that (in Chapter 1) she's standing right outside of the cafe when Sensei walks in and is still there when he leaves. And while I can't remember exactly what details we've learned about her pact with Maya, isn't she not supposed to be in this part of town at all? I have to imagine she would only break that for Sensei-related reasons.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I think a good half of her character's purpose is to provide red-herring regarding what kind of person Noriko actually is against all odds and flags, and to serve as Maya's antithesis that proves how wrong Maya sometimes can be; the other half is to be the window to Sensei's past. Many of her major strides are scattered in main events, but yes her own love line is with way too many bumps.I hope I can find something more interesting to latch onto with Noriko when I replay her stuff, but on my first playthrough I really wasn't a fan of her as a character.

Her school was not in the Old District so she has to come to this half of the town at least for that. Regardless, even if her school wasn't here, Noriko made a pact that she no longer (or perhaps never) has good reasoning to follow through for her entire life, not when the love of her life is involved.Are we actually sure that she couldn't find him?

They're about 2 inches big. I used a guitar pick for reference.How big are they? I have no sense of scale here
I think the big words for understanding Noriko are loser, genius and insane. I'll skip most of what has already been said in previous posts and instead focus on what I think hasn't been mentioned enough.I hope I can find something more interesting to latch onto with Noriko when I replay her stuff, but on my first playthrough I really wasn't a fan of her as a character.
